HOW WE WORK WITH: Agencies
Disability service providers face a daunting task. The need for services for individuals with disabilities continues to grow, yet at the same time funding for services – and primarily Medicaid funding – continues to shrink. As a result, agencies are asked to do more with less, which can result in increasing caseloads and high levels of staff turnover. While most agencies are able to successfully navigate the
challenges of a rapidly evolving service delivery system, they also recognize that the best result for an individual with a disability comes from a healthy collaboration between the agency, the individual, and the individual’s family members or other advocates. We at Adirondack Case Management & Advocacy LLC work to support this collaboration.
